Making Money with Article Writing-What's up with Ehow?

Just wondering how many mylotters write for ehow and what your feelings are lately regarding the UK fiasco, publishing problems, complaints in the forums, etc. Ehow is turning into a real drag for me, sucking up any positive energy I try to put into the site. I've been trying to publish for 2 days now and keep getting that greasy haired mechanic with the big wrench. I wish I could just reach into my monitor, grab that wrench and wack him over the head with it. Some of you have no clue what I'm talking about but those that have experienced this should be able to relate to my frustation. So what do we do? Post on other sites? Keep checking in with ehow to see if they've resolved their issues? What do you do, as a frustrated ehow writer when you can't publish and are losing faith in the site as a means of generating a decent income? Where else have you found success?

I keep hearing of the problem with ehow. Since ehow belongs to Demand studio, you might as well join demand studio. You are paid better and have the option of writing for other sites that belong to Demand Studio too. I think Helium is trying out the ehow format. You may want to join Helium and take a look at the varieties of writing opportunities.

Hi scheng1, Thanks for the tip on Helium. I'll look into that site. Ehow was great when I first joined a year ago. I put up a handful of articles with very little time and effort and made payout my second month. Things were going smoothly for a few more months. I felt like I was accomplishing something, building passive income that would continue to grow with the efforts I put into it and then things started to go downhill. They deleted several of my top earning articles which now live on Infobarrel but unfortunately do not get the traffic that they use to get on ehow. Then the glitches became an almost daily occurrence and then the UK debacle. I even started a blog about ehow (see profile) which now I find very difficult to contribute to since there's not many positive things to write about.
